GPU Selector is a powerful multi-GPU game launcher and management tool for Windows 10 and 11. It provides a centralized interface for users with multiple graphics cards (e.g., Integrated + Dedicated, or dual Dedicated GPUs) to control which hardware their games and applications use.

Beyond simple GPU switching, it features deep integration with ReShade and various graphics translation layers, making it an essential utility for modern and retro gaming enthusiasts.

Key Features

  • Multi-GPU Management: Force any game or application to run on a specific GPU using multiple methods (Windows GPU Preference, Vulkan Config, or Monitor Switching).

  • Centralized Game Library: Automatically scans and imports games from Steam, GOG, Epic Games, and other launchers.

  • Emulator Support: Built-in ROM scanning and per-emulator configuration management.

  • Graphics Translation Layers: Integrated support for:

    • DXVK / VKD3D-Proton: Translate DirectX 9/10/11/12 to Vulkan for better performance or compatibility.

    • dgVoodoo2: For legacy DirectX 1-8 and 3dfx Glide support.
